Well, usually I type up a review as soon as I walk in the door, no matter how late. But, I still can't figure out what to say about this one. I'd be interested to hear how other list members describe the night... I wasn't sure if I was going, but by telepathic brainwaves I was able to complete a mid-term and decided to walk the block to Irving. I was happy to get in. I forgot who the first band up was (they were not listed). All I know is that they were three rap artists from Connecticut that sang about the "shit that's gonna break your neck...and get the ladies' panties wet". I actually enjoyed this for it was a new experience. But, I remained "Sure". Then came the Rustic Overtones; they were pretty okay. They had a nice mix of sound and even had a bit of a brass section. GVSB went on about...oh, who cares about time anymore? They went on, I thought the sound pretty much sucked, and there was many a time that I thought that Scott's mic was not plugged in. One thing's for sure, Scott's bass wasn't. A bit of a delay between the first and second songs...and a bit throughout, too. After the first instance of difficulty, Scott said something like "What's everybody getting so excited about? Shit." (I paraphrased.) [I just have to say...O/T...New Kids On The Block's "Hanging Tough" is being played on tv right now. I can't even think straight much less type at the moment...On a similar note, one of the songs played between bands was "Ice Ice, Baby".] Okay, so, later in the show there was even more difficulty for Scott, and I think this just ruined the show to some degree. Not for the audience necessarily, but maybe for the band (?). The next thing I knew Scott was saying "We've got two more songs for you because of the technical difficulty". All I remember is Super-Fire (last song) being played. There were a lot of moments where the band was jamming to fill up silent space, at one point Eli started imitating this record scratching noise with his bass, which was cool. Alexis even did a little number with his drums. Johnny's hair is super-black these days. And, oh, well...okay. I still haven't been able to work the night out in my own head (it was sorta unreal). Misc: I met a list member, by chance, and she's promised to give a review of the night. She got into gvsb via garbage. Sorry this wasn't much of a review (but, mine never are anyway)! I'll (try) do better next month. indra ============================================== Please send all administrative requests (unsubscribing, change of address, etc) to the list owner at [EMAIL PROTECTED] ==============================================
